There wasn't much. I heard a lot of dutiful but feeble and lackadaisical applause from the 'rat pack. They know it's all BS and they didn't look very happy about it as the camera panned around. Lot of long 'rat faces.

Ya. I want to know how his “EVERY family in America should be able to afford a college education for their children” works. One would think when 50% of the country aren’t paying income taxes, they could put that savings aside to pay for tuition.....

I missed the speech due to watching last Sunday night’s episode of Downton Abbey!

But I did catch his exit from the room and the lovefest from all the slobbering Dems. It was nauseating.
And well, I’m nauseated anyway cuz I am afraid that this Imposter/Upurper/Marxist is going to be reelected.

“I kept thinking they know something we dont know and it isnt good for the country.”

Perhaps as with the final days of the Soviet Union, the insiders now the real numbers? Alternatively it could be personal to them, and the level of rejection for the present system will swamp them utterly? Just theorizing.

IF Newt is the candidate - he WOULD probably eviserate Obama in a debate. Newt knows how to speak, he knows how to debate, and he knows his facts ...

Just imagine the pounding Obama would take on unemployment, the stimulus, the Solyndra loan [as well as other loans to the flywheel compny and the battery company], the pipeline debacle, etc.

I don’t care how many times I hear people say Romney is the only one that can beat Odrama.

Newt is the one who can because unlike McLame and Mittens Newt will call Odrama on what he’s done. Mittens would be another McLame in the campaign ie. don’t use his middle name, Odrama is a good president, etc. etc.

I wanted Cain or Palin but of the 2 viables left I pick Newt.

("the American presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery" Sarah Palin)

The whole event had a air of boring-ness that could only come from an arrogant, smirking, jerk bent on lecturing everyone like he would a losing team of community organizers in a smelly Chicago locker room.

This was the President of the United States, I had to keep reminding myself, as I watched a display of smugness and 'talking down his nose' to all those gathered.

Shared this, shared that, fair this, fair that. As if Americans were spoiled brats fighting over what remained of a pie or something. Did it ever occur to this as*hole that with him out of the kitchen (coming soon) we'd bake more pies? I still can't believe this neophyte phony ever got elected to President. Just what were his credentials, again?

I am ashamed to say that this is the third time in a row that I did not see the SOTU address...watched Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clintoon, Bush (What year was it that the official response to a POTUS SOTU was given by the USSR Ambassador?), but, I flat refuse to watch a used car salesman try to talk me into buying a 64 rusted out Cadillac powered by donkeys,that have been just been set free to roam the western states, and so I must pay extra to have the car removed as an environmental hazard.

(Obama is just the symptom of what is destroying the U.S.)

Perhaps as with the final days of the Soviet Union, the insiders now the real numbers?I have worked with many refugees over the years and it was the Ukrainian Christians that always gave me a good reason why they believed that their former country was going to implode...the people lost their souls. Same with liberalism...if its’ tenets were so appealing to the masses than why did they have to resort to fraud, lies, deceit. and division to reach their goals?

I stand by my prediction that there will be no debate. The arrogant narcissism of DumBO will insist it is beneath him to have to debate non-entities. The entertainment will be watching the slimes bend over backwards to kiss ZerO’s a$$.
